Likey? Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: sbrguy on April 13, 2010, 05:54:17 PM what kind of tank is that alum or bare steel or painted to look like bare alum?
Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: He Man on April 13, 2010, 06:06:51 PM its steel for sure. you can see the weld joint on the bottom.
Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: Duck-Stew on April 13, 2010, 08:28:26 PM Lookin' good!!!!
Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: Billyzoom on April 13, 2010, 08:53:44 PM Dang I love it! So simple and clean. I Lovelovelovve it.
Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: Monster Dave on April 14, 2010, 06:08:33 AM Is it the light or do you actually have 3 colors there?
Front fender - green Tank - silver Rear fender - black Evening out/balancing the color pattern would help a lot. A seat cowl that matches the tank would be a plus too [thumbsup] Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: ducrider45 on April 14, 2010, 06:33:47 AM nice, I agree with Monster Dave about the seat cowl. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: Ducatl on April 14, 2010, 07:21:37 AM Damn it! I wanna do this so bad, it looks awesome [evil]
What'd you do exactly? it looks brushed. Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: Speeddog on April 14, 2010, 07:48:39 AM The pics don't do that tank justice.
Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: The Bearded Duc on April 14, 2010, 09:23:08 AM I kept meaning to ask what you were gonna do to yours!! Looks friggin awesome Miles!!
Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: Grrrly on April 14, 2010, 11:50:02 AM my guess is it's painted to look like brushed metal. On my cleared steel tank, you can easily see the brass (brazed) welds around the tank clasp area in front, and I don't see that on the pic.

Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: red baron on April 23, 2010, 11:33:18 AM Lookin' good!!!! +1 [thumbsup] I should come on the board more often. ;) Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: MAXdB on April 23, 2010, 01:18:34 PM yes, very beautiful
Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: mraff on April 23, 2010, 04:02:37 PM Nice; tank is awesome. Have you considered wrapping the exhaust and/or the forks?
Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: Travman on April 23, 2010, 04:02:46 PM what kind of tank is that alum or bare steel or painted to look like bare alum? +1, Are you teasing us? Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: red baron on April 23, 2010, 05:22:40 PM Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: He Man on April 23, 2010, 06:00:57 PM looking at this bike makes me want to blast all my aluminum parts, give it some exture and clear coat it for a shinny raw look.
Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: duc_poultry on April 24, 2010, 09:07:19 AM :) I cant give any details on the bike yet! I will tell you it will be done in mid May and it is starting to look GOOD!
Title: Re: Beautiful? (monster rebuild) Post by: ducrider45 on April 24, 2010, 01:46:52 PM You tease! ;) Have fun with the rebuild. Im just starting one for my sister's (DaniD) 620. I am also going to work on my dark some more. But that is all I can say right now [evil].

I personally like it I actually thought of the idea and had it made. Its going to be a running theme on the bike. But thanks for your input... Title: Re: Beautiful?

How bout a penske out back and some early model s4 adjustables up front!! :o I think the Ducati ST series bolt right up also, but I think the fork tubes are a bit longer? Title: Re: Beautiful? (monster rebuild) Post by: duc_poultry on May 08, 2010, 02:08:13 PM Haha if I could afford it!!!
Title: Re: Beautiful? (monster rebuild) Post by: duc_poultry on May 08, 2010, 02:27:49 PM Haha if I could afford it!!! Actually I could afford the forks... but not the shock :( Title: Re: Beautiful? (monster rebuild) Post by: The Bearded Duc on May 08, 2010, 02:53:31 PM Yeah the penske are pricey but you can do these in the mean time.....

(monster rebuild) Post by: Duck-Stew on May 08, 2010, 03:34:40 PM Outer tubes on the ST forks are slightly longer than Monsters, but enough that you won't notice. But the springs?!? WAY TOO heavy for an air-cooled, small case Monster.
Title: Re: Beautiful? Post by: sydmonster on May 08, 2010, 07:35:04 PM Bike looks cool, kinda cafe' racerish [thumbsup]
I thought this comment was gold ...I can't put it all up at once it would be way to exciting Title: Re: Beautiful?
